I did a paper a number of years ago on the Huguenots of Midlothian. When they arrived in early 1700 they had their own church and deeds and wills filed at the Chesterfield County Courthouse were in French. Over the next few decades they took English husbands and wives, their kids had English Godparents and their names became increasingly Anglicized. Today some of their ancestors still live in the area. but Fleurnoir has become Flornoys, etc. On Mar 10, 2005, at 2:57 PM, Anita Wills wrote: > This thread is very informative, and I am getting quite a few sources. > This is why Virginia History is my favorite site. > > > Anita > > To subscribe, change options, or unsubscribe, please see the > instructions > at http://listlva.lib.va.us/archives/va-hist.html > To subscribe, change options, or unsubscribe, please see the instructions at http://listlva.lib.va.us/archives/va-hist.html
